Al Moudira
HotelAfrica, Egypt
From $330
Al Moudira is a 54-room hotel on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, set between desert and farmland, about four kilometres from the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Although it was built in 2001, it looks centuries old, with Moorish arches, domes and courtyards decorated with arabesque details. Each room is individually designed, with stone, tile, gold leaf and antique furniture. Life revolves around the central courtyard and the palm-filled gardens, with a pool, Turkish baths and four restaurants. The hotel holds two Michelin Keys. Its seclusion is part of the appeal, and the east bank of Luxor is reached by car or by the ferries that cross the Nile throughout the day.
Adrère Amellal
HotelAfrica, Egypt
From $490
Adrère Amellal rises from the edge of Siwa like part of the desert itself, built almost entirely from kershef — the local mixture of salt, clay and straw — beneath the White Mountain and overlooking the oasis and salt lake. Its 40 hand-built rooms are deliberately elemental, with palm-trunk ceilings, Siwan rugs, salt beds and tiny shuttered windows, and there is famously no conventional electric lighting: after dark, beeswax candles and lanterns take over. Meals use produce from the lodge’s organic gardens and are served in different corners of the property each day, while a natural spring feeds the palm-shaded swimming pool and excursions head into the Great Sand Sea, ancient temples and Siwa’s springs.
Casa Polanco
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $600
Casa Polanco is a 19-room boutique hotel in Mexico City’s Polanco district, set directly across from Parque Lincoln and a short walk from Avenida Presidente Masaryk and the city’s best restaurants. It joins a restored 1940s Neocolonial mansion, recognized by Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts, with a contemporary building designed by architect Claudio Gantous. Rooms feature walnut floors, custom furniture and, in many cases, balconies over the park or the inner courtyard. Rates include breakfast at La Veranda, a guests-only restaurant, as well as daily afternoon tea and an honor bar in the library, and the hotel also has a spa, a fitness room and e-bikes for getting around.
Capella Sydney
HotelOceania, Australia
From $750
Capella Sydney occupies the former Department of Education building, an Edwardian Baroque sandstone landmark designed by government architect George McRae in 1912, a short walk from Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House. After a seven-year restoration by Make Architects and BAR Studio, a modern glass extension now crowns the historic facade, and the 192 rooms and suites pair heritage details with contemporary comfort. Works by Australian artists, including Judy Watson, fill the public spaces, and a cultural program covers Aboriginal history, art and the harbor. On level six, the Auriga Spa and a 20-meter indoor pool occupy the old gallery, while Brasserie 1930 and the ground-floor Living Room set the pace downstairs.
